Well, that remains to be seen, but for a bit of fun we have the players your team should be focusing on in the areas your club really needs to strengthen.

Looking at the traditional big six, with the help of BetStars - who have conducted statistical research (more of which you can see here) - we have one player made for each team.

So without further ado, let's get into this and talk through why these players would make your Christmas perfect if - and we admit, it's a big if - your manager gets his finger out and splashes the cash.

Manchester United

The Red Devils' season has been a little hit and miss to this point. On one hand they're second in the Premier League and are really getting the most out of Paul Pogba. On the other their 11 points behind rivals Manchester City who got one over them in their own back yard quite recently. So how do we fix this?

According to the stats, Manchester United are weakest in the right wing position, having created just 47 chances from that side of the park - Man City have created 94 chances from their right side for reference.

Based on expected goals for chances per game, alongside age and relative status, the transfer matching system suggests Antonio Candreva would be a great fit for the Old Trafford outfit.

Current value, according to transfermakrt: £17.5million

Arsenal

The Gunners have been relatively disappointing this season, and are currently outside of the top six - contradicting their 'traditional' status.

Arsenal could strengthen in a number of areas, and will likely have problems on their hands when Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil eventually leave the north London club.

According to the stats, Arsenal are most in need of a holding midfielder having made 34 defensive mistakes in this area leading to chances since the start of last season - more than any of the other big six clubs.

Based on defensive errors leading to chances, alongside age and relative status, the transfer matching system suggests Radja Nainggolan would be a great fit for the Gunners.

Liverpool

The Reds have shown their ability to destroy teams on a regular basis this season, and have battered teams including Maribor and Brighton, but they also concede far too many goals.

In addition to this they have also struggled to see out games they should really have won - including recently against rivals Everton.

According to the stats, Liverpool - and this will come as little surprise - are most in need of a new goalkeeper to sort out their leaky defence. The Reds are bottom of the league when it comes to the number of chances faced per goal conceded, in spite of their high position in the table.

Based on ability to keep the ball out the net, alongside age and relative status, the transfer matching system suggests Jan Oblak would be a great fit for Liverpool.

Chelsea

The Blues haven't quite lived up to last year's billing, but after a relatively quiet summer transfer window, in which they lost Diego Costa and Nemanja Matic, are ticking away nicely in third place.

Chelsea have won 11 of their first 17 games of the season, and are on course to secure Champions League qualification again this campaign.

According to the stats, Chelsea are most in need of a central defender as they have faced more on-target shots [42.9 per cent] from set pieces than any of their big six rivals - Arsenal's figure is 5.9 per cent for reference.

Based on ability to head set pieces clear, alongside age and relative status, the transfer matching system suggests Kamil Glik would be the perfect fit for the Stamford Bridge club.

Manchester City

It's hard to think of any area Manchester City need to strengthen given their Premier League dominance this season.

Pep Guardiola's men are 11 points clear at the top of the table. They've won 16 of their first 17 fixtures. They netted a staggering 52 times, and they're yet to taste domestic defeat.

They've also proven they can beat big teams as well as the clubs they should be capable of seeing off - including Manchester United and Chelsea, both in their own back yards.

But according to the stats - and we suppose this does make sense - Man City are most in need of a left-back as 65.6 per cent of expected goals against the club have come from this flank - more than any of their big six rivals.

Based on ability to snuff out attacks down this side, alongside age and relative status, the transfer matching system suggests Faouzi Ghoulam would be the perfect fit for the Citizens.

Tottenham

Spurs kick-started this campaign in electric form before suffering a bit of a blip a few weeks ago. They appear to be over the worst of it and have now recorded back to back wins in the Premier League.

Tottenham, alongside Manchester City, are widely regarded to have one of the best teams in the entire divison.

Mauricio Pochettino has strength in every single position, but there's always an area that can be improved.

According to the stats Spurs are most in need of a striker to support Harry Kane up front. Since the start of last season Tottenham have ranked second lowest in the league for average quality of headed shots.

Based on quality of headed shots, alongside age and relative status, the transfer matching system suggests Andrea Belotti would be the perfect fit for Spurs.
